Lost the fold button: the curse of the loser

"Fold, fold, fold!" the dealer shouts, but you can't hear. Your eyes are fixed on the cards in your hand, and you can't take them off. You know your chances of winning are slim, but you can't help but hope.

Finally, you make a move. But it's not the right one.
